UPDATE: Working with the customer on lines and grain weights for this special order, first build of an CTS DQ 11'6" 4/5 wt trout spey. (Usually build this in the 3/4). Seems like 330-360 skagit heads are great with OPST 350 Commando being a real good option. And 300-325 grains in your favorite scandi taper. (We love the Rio Scandi Body head)
